Re: Laws of MTF

While it is widely accepted by the scientific and pundit communities that athletes, generation over generation, get stronger and faster and coaching tactics and training techniques evolve, so that the stars of yesteryear would get destroyed in the modern game of most sports...

...this is not true for tennis! In fact, tennis players get WORSE over generations, with only a few exceptions. The stars of the 80s and 90s would KILL today's stars. Even some stars of the 60s and before would just humiliate some of your modern day favorites! That's why you're so stupid for liking who you like, and thinking he's good!

The strongest era of tennis can be factually proven, but there's a complicated algorithm involved wherein you divide your alltime favorite player by the square root of the year you first got interested in tennis, along with other factors.

Re: Laws of MTF

The Olympics is either an exhibition or the most important tournament ever, based on who you ask.

*Of the Big Four, one, two, or possibly even three of them are horrible tennis players who have no business in the top 200 or as members of the human race. They got where they are through incredible luck, rigged draws, and gamesmanship that basically amounts to cheating. Which are the frauds? They vary from poster to poster.

*If one of these frauds looks funny at a ballboy or tosses his racket in frustration, he belongs in PRISON. Conversely, the real GOAT(s) could murder a linesman dead and it would simply be pure justice to be celebrated.

*It is insufficent to simply not be a fan of a player. You must hate him to his very core. There is no such thing as hyperbole here. Players you dislike are DISGUSTING. They are FRAUDS. They are DISGRACES.

*There is only one acceptable style of play, and the rest are killing tennis, or have already killed it (and yet these posters continue to watch for some reason). Again, the one acceptable style of play varies from poster to poster. However, if you believe players should be compelled to attack the net on every point and that serves over 100 MPH should be outlawed, you will do very, very well here.

Oh boy, some gems here. Too good . Slade approves

Kudos to JGroove for starting this thread. I almost forgot about it. Good time to bump it up. Newer members do need to read it and study it.

How about Carlos Berlocq threads and WARlocq showing mercy?

It was probably written here multiple times (maybe even by myself), but do not forget that:

If TOP player loses he is obviously tanking and/or doesn´t care. Even in final....of a slam.
